Anyone have a pointer on how to run multiple motionlayout transitions sequentially? I.e. after first one ends, trigger second one

I haven't used MotionLayout yet but I saw the word "sequentially" and I thought Coroutines!! Maybe you can use suspend functions.

Unfortunately that won’t be the case here 😄

This one is very advanced: https://proandroiddev.com/complex-ui-animations-on-android-featuring-motionlayout-aa82d83b8660

There is a nice part called Choreographing multi-step animations

[Joost Klitsie]

which indeed has some coroutine things under the hood 🙂 But in essence it is a callback transformed into a coroutine

I actually ran into that before but didn’t quiet get through it! I’ll take another look, choregraphing sounds exactly what I need, thanks!

[Joost Klitsie]

so you can use the motionlayout transitionlistener to see when your transition has finished, and then call the other transition

[Matti MK]

Yep, that’s one option I’m trying out. Wish there was some nice XML way to do it

Like having more than end state and start state for the motion

The only thing you could use is keyframes, but they are really meant to streamline/tweak an animation and not have multiple different animations.
